Hangover Day: Artichoke Detox Tea will help you recover from the damage caused by alcohol

February 28 is considered hangover day. Nutritionist teaches recipe of anti-inflammatory tea, great option for liver recovery

Hangover Day is celebrated on February 28th. The date was created to raise awareness of the danger and harm caused by excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. the nutritionist Renata Branca explains that alcohol manages to inflame our intestines, contributing to the imbalance of the intestinal microbiota, leading to swelling of the abdomen.

“This mixture of alcohol and carbohydrates plus snacks (excess fat) puts an extra burden on the liver, forcing it to work harder to eliminate these toxins and fats. These alcohol-derived toxins increase forms of byproducts that are inflammatory, causing our bodies to have to use stores of antioxidants and liver enzymes to counteract this inflammation”said Renata.

The professional also stated that, in addition to alcohol, beer has 1/3 of its composition in maltose, a refined carbohydrate. “When they say a beer is worth a French bread, it’s true”the nutritionist said.

“If you exaggerate with beer, always remember to hydrate during and after consuming the drink, eat a good meal before drinking and the next day, consume light foods such as fruit, vegetables, legumes and rest so that your body recovers”, recommend.

According to Renata, a good option is dandelion tea, which is a great option for liver recovery. Find out the recipe and step by step below.
